For spring, the nice days and Henley's Suits,
Pants and Spring Overcoats. The grandest,
the most stylish and the cheapest, consistent
with the quality, that ever came into this
or any other town or county in this part of
the state. My lowest prices on pants for
this season will be 800. II you want a
pair of pants for less than 81, go to the
ready made clothing house, where you will
get better pair than any tailor can furnish
you for less then that money. My
highest priced pants are S1400. Come and
look at the goods. Do not be bulldozed into
the belief that you can get anything that is
first class for less than il is worth. Tailor
ing is no exception to the rule. A man that
is capable of doing first class work cannot
and will not work for less than his labor is
worth. Bear that an mind. On the other
hand, a man that is not able to do first class
work must work for low price, else he will
not get any thing to do. The people of Paw
Paw were long pestered with cheap tailors.
Do not encourage them any more. The
world is advancing in every art and science;
the people around us are progressing in all
that tends to make sweet to man the burdens
of life itself, and hear an mind that nowhere
are those strides more manifest than at

'On my Last trip IN the summer had
noticed down on Crazy Woman's fork a
cluster Of sunhoWeEs with one particu-
lRrly big one in the middle. I was so
much interested Ia finding old Belker
alive that never thought much on this
point, but as I sat here that night the
whole thing came up to me as clear as
daylight. Belker was under the sun
flower, and III tell you why. He always
carried lot of sunhOWer seeds In his
pocket, why nobody knew, but it was
probably that which gave him his name
Everybody called him old Sunhower,'
but 1 never paid much attention to the
reason for It. I didn't wait long after
that In getting started for the place
where had seen tie sunhOWers. It
was hopeless search, but I made it
IN good faith, coming back with no
success. Later on tried it again, and
this time I found the stRlk-that one

only one was considerably relieved. L
dug the earth away from the roots, and,
with the shovel which had brought, 1

sunhoWer's roots entWined around every
bone. It was old Belker sure enough,
as could tell by the teeth, but nothing
was left Of him bat the bones, and they
we're beginning to crumble. He had
been killed and buried there in about a
foot Of earth, and the sunhower seeds in
his pocket had sprouted, showing where
he lay. How he was killed L never
learned, but 1 shall always believe that
the thieves did it, though there was some
accounts Of the soldiers finding a dead

hadn't been for the seeds IN his pocket

swell, things didn't go then as they
do now, and after thinking the matter
over a while L concluded to leave the
old mans bones and bing the sunhoWer,
which was more like him and handler to
keep, back with me. So 1 covered up
the skeleton and piled lot of stones on
the place to mark the grave and brought
the stalk home. It's been behind my
bar ever since, and it's going to stay
there. call it 'Old Sunhower Belker,'
because there is heap of him IN it, and
it resembles him, being tough. Up
where his bones lie you can now see at

he left my Plase to go to Virginia City,
saying that he would be back In month
or two. He had considerable dust Just
then and besides leaving some with me
he took a good sack with him. For two
or three months I thought little about
him, but at length, Whs-> he had been
gone a month over his time. began to
make inquiries about him. Nobody had
seen him. Parties IN from Virginia City
said he had not been there, and I began
to believe that he had gone OF N another
direction At length was obliged to
give up this theory. The summer pass

though We knew lac lay within forty rods,
and the dog was with him. We finally
went back to the hill where We made the
shot, for a fresh start on the trail, when
up comes one OF our Indian neighbors,
with his ten year old son and dog. Ahal
thought 7, this accounts for the shot 1
heard early In the day, as it also aeeodnts
for the stalled buck. I asked the Indian
if his cur dog would follow trail, and
he nodded yes; then We put him on and
away he siZurried without barking-We
following on the run. Within a quarter
OF a mile We came upon the deer, with
our dog lying beside him. he had eaten
the whole flank out Of one side 1.-THE buck
In his thirst for gore. As the Indian
came up he says: 'sAIe kill um." s'You
kill UNI hip retOrts Lutte; s'We kill
um'-pOintiRg to me and himself. The
Indian gave a grunt, and began to sZ-
anime the deer. In fact We found three
woundg on the buck--his lower Jaw was
broken, and there we're two clean shot
holes through the lungs. 1t had been
three hours since the Indian had fired; it
was a moral impOssibihty for the deer to
live fifteen minutes with one OF those
holes through both lungs, much less up
to the time when We fired where he was
fighting the dog so fercsly. But the In
dian pointed to one OF those wounds and
.energetically said ''A4ep' It was evident
our shots had brought the deer down,
and Lutte was for at least claiming the
saddles. But inasmuch as it was clear
the Indian had broken the deer's Jaw,
which caused him to stall on the dog,
Overruled Lutte. We skinned the deer
out, took the hide and half the meat and
let Mr.. Indian take the balance,-one
ham and a eshoulder,-Which, accord
ing to hunters rules he was entitled to.
He and the boy went away happy. We
didn't get into camp with our meat till
long ait-r nightfall.
